The unutilized land is primarily used to cater for the future needs of the Forces. Requests for transfer of defence land received from Central Govt. Departments, State Governments and organisations controlled by it and also local bodies for execution of public infrastructure / utility projects are considered on merits, if it is felt that the land can be alienated without compromising the essential functions of the user service as per terms and conditions contained in Ministry of Defence letters dated 02.02.2016 & 21.10.2020.
This information was given by Raksha Rajya Mantri Shri Ajay Bhatt in a written reply to Shri Pallab Lochan Das in Lok Sabha on March 25, 2022.
